One of my kids, Keira, asked for a twenties bob as well as a beret to go with the new hairstyle.<\/p>\n

Keira further explained that she wanted to be the chicest girl in Melbourne. I\u2019m pretty sure she\u2019d been reading about Claris: The Chicest Mouse in Paris<\/a><\/em> by fashion illustrator Megan Hess.<\/p>\n

So I got my thinking cap on, worked out how to create a bob haircut, I gave my daughter the haircut of her dreams. Then I set about making a beret.<\/p>\n

After a few test rounds of miniature berets, followed by a test beret that was definitely too big and floppy to be chic, I finally got the pattern just right.<\/p>\n

If you dream of walking down the street feeling like a character from a Prince song, then follow along with this tutorial and find out just how easy it is to make and customize your own beret.<\/p>\n

How to Sew a Reversible Beret and Make your own Beret Sewing Pattern<\/h2>\n

Berets are super versatile and can be made from a variety of fabrics. Classically wool is most suited to this style of hat as it’s warm and hard wearing, but we’ve used fleece for ours as it’s easy to sew with and can be machine washed.<\/p>\n

Other suitable fabrics include felt, corduroy or even velvet. The fabric needs to have a bit of body otherwise your hat will be too floppy to hold its shape.<\/p>\n

This particular pattern is reversible. You can choose to use the same fabric for both sides, or mix it up and make the reverse in a different colour.<\/p>\n

It’s best to keep the weight and type of fabric the same if you are going for a 2 colour option.<\/p>\n
